In selective breeding programs for Atlantic salmon, test fish are slaughtered at an average body weight where growth rate and carcass traits as filet fat ( F F ), filet pigment ( F P ) and visceral fat index ( F F ) are recorded. The objective of this study was to obtain estimates of genetic correla...
